Congrats back2barb - so close to your first goal!! <br><br> My weight loss has been a grand total of 0lb in the last ten days! I have really kicked up my exercise recently though so I'm hoping it is something to do with that. Otherwise I am just plodding along and hoping the scale starts moving again soon - I am down 76lb and hoping to lose another 40 or so

Good job on the loss. I totally understand about the stall I'm currently in one as well ARGH!

So I was sleeved October 7th, 2013 and down officially over 100 pounds since day of surgery. I am now just about 140 pounds. Turns out my stomach is 'twisting', and now five months out it is being discovered I may have to go in for another surgery, which have risks as any do, plus more. This is very , very uncommon. There are two procedures they can do, one of them doesn't even have a name which scares me and the second one would be to going through getting a Bypass. I'm VERY nervous and anxious. I will find out more on Wed. I go in for another endoscopy, this one I will be in the main operating room and put fully asleep, not local. If something needs to be done they will go to town if they feel it needs to be done immediately. My symptoms include (which I didn't find uncommon) excessive sensativity to foods and beverages as the main symptom. Really I thought it was normal. IF they have to do full bypass I am very much scared not only because it is the bypass but because I am already 20 pounds under my personal goal weight and my doctor says I have no excess body weight to lose as I have already exceeded that. I have included an updated picture. This is very uncommon and a lot of times there is little to no symptoms. Everyone is doing great, keep up the amazing work!

Thank you MWS, SuperK, Ren, and LTC7!! Our Oct people rock!!

Ren, I'm so sorry you're having trouble and have to have further surgery. Make sure to keep us updated. When did the food problems start? I'm definitely going to go for my EGD my doctor recommends 6-12 months post to check everything and make sure it's ok. I would've thought the food intolerances were normal too. I'm sorry :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
